I don't get your objection. Naltrexone is the perfect answer for what you describe as negatives. While using Naltrexone, you still go out with friends and drink all you want including camaraderie and all. The only difference is you take the medicine about an hour before. You still get drunk, still have fun with friends, and still need a DD to get home.

Naltrexone is not a drug that you need to stop drinking on. It actually only works when you do drink.

In my experience, it takes a week to start having a very noticeable impact and a month is maximum impact. The impact is you don't care if you drink or not. Unlike AA, there's no willpower involved, so there's no need for a support group.
